Text of marker: "CAMP MCKENZIE. In 1965 a group led by Cason J. Callaway, Jr., donated an additional and adjacent 320-acre tract to the Chattahoochee Council. The new area was named Camp Callaway. In 1955, the Council signed an agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for 900 acres of land on West Point Lake and camping facilities have been moved to that location. This marker is erected to honor those men who had the foresight and the will to make Camp McKenzie and Camp Callaway possible for the thousands of boys who learned to love them both and who will forever hold fond memories of their experiences here. ERECTED BY THE OLE SCOUTS OF CAMP MCKENZIE AND THE HISTORIC CHATTAHOOCHEE COMMISSION 1999" - External Identifiers:
